US rapper Trey Songz has surrendered to police over a domestic violence allegation.

The chart star, real name Tremaine Aldon Neverson, presented himself to the Los Angeles Police Department on Tuesday after claims he attacked a woman during the NBA All-Star weekend, last month.

He was released on $50,000 (£35,000) bail after being detained for two hours.

The woman in question, Andrea Buera, says he punched her while they both attended a party in the Hollywood Hills on February 18th.

Last week, Buera gave a press conference with her attorney Lisa Bloom at The Bloom Firm in Woodland Hills, California, where she presented images of the alleged attack.

However, Songz strenuously denies the claims and his legal representative, Shawn Holley, says there are witnesses to disprove Buera's 'inconsistent' version of events.

Moreover, in a defiant Twitter post, Songz himself told his 13million followers that the claims against him were untrue and motivated by money.

"For weeks my lawyers & Mgmt have asked me not to comment on this and I initially agreed but this morning I feel that my fam [sic], the women that raised me, my friends & fans especially the youth need to hear from me.

"I am being lied on and falsely accused for someone’s personal gain."

In a follow-up tweet, he added: "I won’t be speaking too much more on this but would like to thank you for all the prayers and support."

Together, the posts attracted more than 12,000 'likes' and plenty of supportive comments.

Asked for comment by Billboard.com this morning, Songz' attorney replied that "Trey's tweet this morning sums it up."
